Zion Williamson's Status vs. Grizzlies Revealed

In this story:
The Memphis Grizzlies and New Orleans Pelicans are set to face off in a rematch of Ja Morant's first game of the season, and both teams have released their injury reports for this game. For New Orleans, star forward Zion Williamson is not listed on the injury report, meaning he is available to play.
Williamson being available means that fans will get another look at the matchup between he and Morant. The two players were selected first and second in the 2019 NBA Draft, and have been good friends for a long time. Two of the highest flying stars in the game, Morant and Williamson always put on a show.
As previously mentioned, this game is a rematch of Morant's first game back from suspension, which ended on a game winning layup to complete a big comeback. That was a huge win for the Grizzlies, and a bad loss for the Pelicans. Memphis has not lost since that moment, and will look to stay perfect since Morant returned.
There is a lot of ground the Grizzlies need to make up in the Western Conference standings, but they are certainly on the right track at the moment. New Orleans is one of the teams the Grizzles are trying to chase down, so these head to head matchups are very important for both teams.
